<p>Yesterday in NYC he showed in further his dedication to using his platform as an artist and public figure by helping lead a march to protest the recent deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile who were shot and killed by police officers in two separate incidents, all within a 24-hour period.</p>
<p>Nick later shared photos on his Instagram of himself during the march. In the photos Nick is wearing an "I Can't Breath" t-shirt and holding a megaphone.</p>
<p>A few short hours prior Nick spoke with ET at a Perry Ellis Men's Fashion Week fitting about the recent tragic events and how vocal he has been as part of the movement to end this current tragic and violent trend. </p>
<p>Here is some of what Nick had to say on why he chooses to speak out:</p>
<p>"Obviously myself whether it's my poetry or my spoken word, me on social media or even me interviews, I've been quite outspoken for the past few years. And I like to practice what I preach so I'm in these communities constantly and taking meetings with district attorneys about criminal justice reform and prison reform. It's so important, I've been given a spotlight so I want to say the proper things at the proper times."</p>
<p>Nick is driven to do more than just post a hashtag.</p>
<p>"I like to live it. I'm kinda putting my money where my mouth is. I'm putting my efforts where my mouth is, and I'm actually in the community. I know we're all upset about a lot of things that are going on. Instead of getting out and just talking about it, I'm really trying to do it."</p>
<p>His commitment is more than just s tagline t-shirt.</p>
<p>"You're gonna see a lot more t-shirts but we're not just wearing t-shirts. We're actually out here making a difference."</p>
